Straight to the POINT

I SEE that Tesco is cutting 1,200 management jobs. Is it not time the NHS followed suit and had a cull of middle management? This would release funds to employ nurses who do the job they were trained for — looking after patients. Helen Turner, Harrogate, n. Yorks.

NO WONDER Labour wants to lower the voting age: to agree with Corbyn, it helps if you still believe in the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas. e. Bennett, Douglas, Isle of Man.

STARBUCKS says ‘due to Brexit, sales in the UK are down 60 per cent’. No, it’s because people are voting with their feet as Starbucks has tried to reduce its corporation tax payments. KIT Read, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

IT IS a sad comment on the morals of this nation when a Prime Minister has to go against her Christian principles and allow more women to obtain abortions paid for by the NHS. Who is protecting unborn children? Clearly not UK MPs. Jonathan Longstaff, Buxted, e. sussex.

WHEN I was doing my A-levels in 1957, I asked a teacher how he had voted. He replied: ‘I am not allowed to influence you.’ Quite rightly so. Richard Morris, southsea, Hants. IF I’m ever in a car crash, I hope I’m strapped to Richard Hammond. He seems invincible! Tony Harvey, Bangor, co. Down.

DON’T these muppets who support the ‘Day of Rage’ to bring down the Tories and end austerity realise it was the Labour government which almost bankrupted the UK?
